You can buy a quickshifter, autoblipper, yoshi exhaust, and a new airfilter and it'll still be cheaper than the FZ10!

I’ve got the 2020 model and after 8, 000 miles I have to say that was a very accurate and fair assessment of the bike. Spot on review.

[dangrass]

ever since my 1971 T250R I've been impressed by Suzuki. Great engineering and manufacturing company.

[andrewknipe]

great review, had a 2020 GSX S1000F for 7 months, absolutely love the bike. solid review from this guy. : )

[Gexxon]

Picking mine up this week. The red and black one. I think it's a gorgeous bike in person. I'm so ready for one of these sport touring bikes and this one seems the best for the money as well. Love this bike. I rode my friends and fell in love with it. If it had rider modes it would be perfect but it does have traction control and that's fine with me. You're right, you can't turn off the ABS but for touring around with that kind of power ABS is a good thing. It's so powerful but smooth as butter. I could ride it for 5 hours straight very comfortably. Good review. Nice bike.

Bought one of these a year ago. Had a Fazer800 before. Wow, what a difference! Every time I climb on I get the grin factor; it does everything! I'm mostly an about town rider so was worried it would be heavy and wobbly, not the case at all; it's happy weaving at low speed. I really love this bike. Get over the looks (how often do you see the front anyway?) and go out and enjoy it; I certainly do!

[guiliobarresi]

good and honest review mate, i bought one 2 years ago after trying the mt10 and ktm 1290gt, both very good bikes but the zook is a better all rounder in my opinion, the mt i took out nearly ran out off fuel on the test ride after doing only 100 odd miles the zook will do 160 odd to the tank and i found the gt to vibey and expensive, yes they were a tad faster but not by much

[dennism]

Greetings, Chop! I enjoyed this piece very much. I like your enthusiasm! It seemed like you really got on well with this bike. It is certainly growing on me. I ride a 2011 GSX1250FA, which I bought new and is an absolute missile! And though she is showing no signs of slowing down, she is getting older. The more I see of this bike the more I think it would be a fine replacement for my trusty FA should that day ever come. So thank you for the honest review. No, it's not a Tuono V4, or a Super Duke, or a fill-in-the-blank! But for what I am doing, it's perfect. Initial buy-in is low, it's comfortable, upgradeable, performs great and will be cheaper to operate. And I happen to love the look. It's a great value for sure.

I have never ridden better engineered bikes than Suzukis.

[MrUltimateRS]

Love Suzuki, mechanically there's something very complete about them. As you say everything just works, which is something you don't appreciate until you try something Italian (I've just swapped my GSXR750 for a Ducati Monster 1200) haha! That being said, I really wish they'd hire a decent designer and jump on the super naked bandwagon. Current GSXR1000R without fairings and a sharper design would sell by the sh*t load.

I have a 2016 naked version and I put a racing windscreen on mine and it knocks the wind right over my helmet, if I set straight up and stretch I can feel it then in my face but if I set normal I can cruise fast as I want on interstate no problem! It is light feeling still but that’s what makes it quick! I got mine turned up to 150hp and weight down to 439lbs! It may be even less now. I just did a tail tidy got rid of that mess in the back, it’s now just a small yoshi plate frame and light and nice pointy tail like a proper sport bike! Really helps the looks to!

[rowdysluggins]

I own a 2016, after many other bikes. I wanted the versatility that the fairing and protection adds over the naked for long miles on the freeway. It's the best bike I've owned by far. Super comfort, great power everywhere, a sound that is absolutely intoxicating. The snatchy throttle seems to vary from bike to bike, but mine doesn't have it (and I knew about the problem before hand and test rode mine before purchase) I was initially thinking of a Ducati SS, or Honda VFR, but when I saw this bike, I wanted to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. It ticks all of the boxes for me.. The looks? I absolutely love the look of my Triton Blue. I've put on bar end mirrors, a tinted shield, some frame sliders, and if you don't like the way it looks... you suck. ;)

[TheHomeExpert]

I am in America, and I own a 2016 version of this bike. I love the upright position, the higher handlebars and the overall more comfortable seating position as compared to other sport bikes. I think the throttle is too snatchy, I was thinking about getting a booster plug.

[redleadervfr-v]

You seam to be loving this GSX1000F Chop’s I think it makes a cracking sports tourer for the less senior rider. I like it myself but it feels a bit small for me as i am 20 stone and 76 years young😁😁

[HatBoyHarvey]

I think the front end is similar to the old faired SV, but with better lights. seems like a nice upgrade for me. Thanks for a great review.

[michals]

so many good words about suzuki bikes from really experienced riders

[paulcullum]

Nice vid chops. I test rode one and the kwak sx. Went for the kwak as I just couldn't get over the looks of the suzi. Great bike to ride though. Looks are personal thing.

[TrulyUniqueOne]

I have a blue and black one, ecu done at msg running lextek downpipes and yoshi r11 exhaust puts out 162bhp, just had suspension done front and back nitron r1 shock ktech fork springs. It's my everyday bike. The only thing left to do is change the seat as the standard one is very hard

[timfinning]

I have a 2016 in red and black. Full Yoshimura exhaust, power commander, K and N filter, has been dyno tuned it goes like stink but it chews the fuel lucky if I get 220kms per tank. I personally love the way this bike looks.

[mountaintourer]

picked mine up today in red/black and you just uploaded this vid - fits perfectly :-))
